4 Actions That Will Extend the Life of Your Car

4 Actions That Will Extend the Life of Your Car

 

1-Not to Waste Downhill Gear

 When the route is downhill, not wasting gear prolongs the life of your vehicle. If you get out of gear, your car will go faster when going downhill, and you may have to constantly intervene with the brakes. Therefore, the brake pads will be finished in less time than they can be. Braking does not harm your vehicle. For your fuel consumption and in terms of the health of your pads, it is more positive to go down with the engine brake on such slopes.

 

2-Not Making Half Clutches in Manual Vehicles

 One issue that can be a problem, especially for manual vehicles, is to move with a half clutch. Sometimes we keep the car on the half clutch to continue driving slowly at the lights. This, in turn, will negatively affect your vehicle, as it will cause friction between Decoupling speeds on the engine side and transmission side due to unequal coupling speeds. The resulting friction will wear out the linings and release heat. For such a situation, more attention should be paid on the slopes. As long as attention is paid, the life of the vehicle's grip will be much longer.

 

3-Not Leaving the Weight of the Vehicle to the Gearbox

 If we come to a situation that is important for both manual and automatic vehicles, you should put the gear in neutral at first after parking your vehicle, and then put it in gear after pulling the handbrake. In this way, you can not only put a load on the gears but also comfortably put the vehicle into gear. Otherwise, the entire load switches to the handbrake.

 

4-Not Using Brakes on Wheels

 The fourth movement is that when passing through the wheels, it is necessary not to pass with the brake. To explain literally, when approaching the wheels, it is necessary to slow down in order not to press either the gas or the brake. Pressing the brakes is not a healthy method. If you interfere with the brake, the front of your vehicle will be close to the ground, so the suspensions reach their limits by jamming the shock absorbers. This causes the underside of the vehicle to rub and the suspensions to take more impact than at the limit. It is not healthy for the overall comfort and comfort of the vehicle.
